Sondra Colbert Youth Leader

My name is Sondra Colbert and I am proud to be the Director of Youth Ministries for Bethany United Methodist Church.  My husband Michael and I have lived in the Gloucester Point Community since 1999.  I have been blessed to have the opportunity to work with youth of all ages for the past 21 years.  I feel that it is my mission as Youth Director and a Christian is to share Christ's love and make a positive difference in each young person's life that Christ brings into my path. youth@bethanygloucesterpoint.net
Kris Kent Children's Ministry

As the Director of Children's Ministry at Bethany, I oversee the weekly Children's Worship during our 11:00am service, the monthly Children's Christian Fellowship (CCF) program, a pre-teen Bible Study Group, the summer Vacation Bible School and other seasonal programs involving children from preschool through fifth grade.  It is my hope that the children who participate in any of these activities will not only have fun with their peers, yet they will also become spiritually enriched.  I feel it is important to assist children in learning the teachings of Christ so that they may form a strong foundation for a life filled with the love of God.
I have educational and professional experience as Kindergarten Teacher, Human Resource Coordinator and Recruiter.  My husband Jonathan and I have been members of Bethany since 2002 and are blessed with two young boys, Austin and Connor.
